AMULETS that HELP us to gain WEALTH and HEALTH !

AMULETS that HELP us to gain WEALTH and HEALTH ?

Anybody ? Do you believe in that ?Do you have / own such amulet ?Do you know any temple / monk that produces such amulets ?Where i can get / rent those amuletsDoes this / Do these amulet (s) endow (s) with such super natural power ?

That were some Qs asked by my frens regarding the super power of wealth and health fetching amulets. Most of us nowadays getting crazy of these type of amulets which to be claimed as been BLESSED by / with super power of helping the wearer to gain WEALTH and HEALTH. Upon hearing of these WEALTH and HEALTH most of us tend to MELT and KNELT to the claimed. As a result of this propaganda, without giving a 2nd thought, we tend to CC ( cash and carry ) and PP ( pay and pack ).

CC and PP without thinking it is a costly action and cause us lost hundred and perhaps thousand of Bank Notes to the noneffective amulets / talismans. Upon CC & PP, most of us hoping that the amulets / talisman will HELP us to gain WEALTH and HEALTH. We prayed for it. Offered the amulets with various offering as it should be. Chanted the SPECIALLY FORM incantation without fail. Brought the amulets to the temple to be blessed and blessed, again n again. Sought and consulted guru / monk advices to ensure the super power of the amulets won't be decreased or deteriorated.

After a series of HARD & TOUGH WORKS, yet we still stuck and hooked to the old unchanged luck. We tend to blame the amulets, blame the monk, blame the temple, blame the seller, blame our luck, blame our destiny, blame our bosses, blame our system, blame our government and yet to the extend of blaming our ancestor. THE BLAMING GAMES BEGIN !

Bear in mind that, our present kamma bound to the our previous kamma. What we have in this present year / lives are the KAMMA of our previous lives. That's something crucial and a must for all Buddhist to believe and hold on firmly. Our PRESENT KAMMA reflected our PAST KAMMA. We sow the fruit from the tree that we have planted. We reap the crops from the planted seeds. As stated in CAUSE & EFFECT SUTRAS,

The Buddha Speaks of The Karma Sutra

* Cause And Effect *

Once upon a gathering at Lin-Shan Assembly,
where 1,250 followers attended, Ananda, one of the chief disciples, after
circling thrice with folded hands around Sakyamuni Buddha, bowing in respect,
humbly asked : "In the present dark age, where the majority of our people
are indulgent in unrighteousness, disrespectful to the Buddha's teaching,
unfilial to their parents, immoral, miserable and sordid, among them some
are deaf, some blind, some mute, some idiotic, some handicapped in other
aspects, the most people inured to killing... ...how could we understand
the cryptic and fundamental principle or what consequences each individual
is to suffer eventually for his deeds, My Lord, would you kindly explain
there to us ?"

Buddha said ........

To understand your previous-life,

Look at what you have in your present-life.To have a preview of your next-life,Examine your daily act in this life.

Effect : Why in this-life you
have cars and various transportation facilities?

Cause : Because you have repaired
broken bridges and paved roads for the benefit of other in your previous
life.

Effect : Why in this-life you
enjoy longevity and good health ?

Cause : Because you set free
sentient-being in your previous life.

Effect : Why in this-life you
have houses and building ?

Cause : Because you have donated
food to monasteries in your previous life.

Effect : Why in this-life you
are so prosperous and happy ?

Cause : Because you have donated
money to build temples and public shelters in your previous life.

Effect : Why in this-life you
are pretty and handsome ?

Cause : Because you respectfully
offered flowers to the Buddha's altar in your previous life.

Effect : Why in this-life you
are so intelligent and wise ?

Cause : Because you were a
devout Buddhist and a sober vegetarian in your previous life.

Phor Mor Keaw once added that, what we have in our present year ( at least until 40 years old ) is reflected on what we have done in our previous lives. That means, started from the very first day of our lives ( born till 40 years old ), our lives - our kamma is BOUND & EFFECTED by our past actions. Meaning to say that, whatever lives that we have to go through now is depend on what we DID in our previous lives.

Phor Mor Keaw added that, no use of hanging the super wealth and health fetching amulets because your past kamma will never ever be varnished and super power amulets can't help you to improve your life, double your assets or keep you young and healthy. Phor Mor even advised me and said that ..........Whatever you do will definitely come back to you, sooner or later !

The other interesting part of Phor Mor Keaw Dhamma talk was ; our past kamma will only bound and affected our present lives until an age of 40 YEARS old. After age of 40s, our past kamma will not affected our lives anymore. The life after 40s is bound to our present lives kamma. That means, in order to receive / enjoy a good present kamma, we have to practise a good kamma ( good deed ) before reaching our 40s. Meaning to say, the things that we did / committed in our early age will definitely affect our present lives..

Hahahahahahaha, dizzy ? Aku lagi pening !

To simplify the discussion.......things that you do / commit now ( born til age of 40s ) will affect your present life ( life after age of 40s ). Things that you did / committed after age of 40s ( present life) will affected your next life kamma. ( born until age of 40s in next life ). Meaning to say, all are interrelated. Things that we do / did in this or previous life, for sure we will get it back, it will keep on coming back to us ! Faham ??? Klu tak faham juga, kena cari sifu yg betul2 arif. Wa pun hanya dapat setengah gelas, carilah mereka yang penuh sebaldi !

In a nutshell, super duper trooper power amulet or talisman could not help us to gain WEALTH, HEALTH & LUCK. Faith and believe per se, won't help us to ensure the super power amulets / talisman to be as effective as claimed by guru. But....our PAST & PRESENT KAMMA will do. Believe it !

...how it all started

Every folklore has lots of stories, inherited from our forefathers and narrated from one generation to another. Living in this hectic world, life has forced men to limit their time to continue and preserve this tradition. Some of these stories survived and were passed to the next generation via documentation. Many faded and vanished through time.

So are the experiences that we gained as we pursue our chores and routine daily lives, seldom being documented in written form, to be read and shared by others. We don't have to be a well known person to relate our past experiences. We don't have to feel inferior to share our experiences in the life with other people. Because.......

Our Great Buddha Says.......

"Yes, O Kā1āmas, it is right for you to doubt, it is right for you to waver. In a doubtful matter, wavering has arisen, "

Remarked the Buddha and gave them the following advice which applies with equal force to modern rationalists as it did to those sceptic brahmins of yore.

"Come, O Kālāmas........Do not accept anything on mere hearsay (i.e., thinking that thus have we heard it from a long time).Do not acceptanything by mere tradition (i.e., thinking that it has thus been handed down through many generations).Do not acceptanything on account of rumours (i.e., by believing what others say without any investigation).Do not acceptanything just because it accords with your scriptures.Do not accept anything by mere supposition.Do not accept anything by mere inference.Do not acceptanything by merely considering the appearances.Do not acceptanything merely because it agrees with your preconceived notions.Do not acceptanything merely because it seems acceptable (i.e., should be accepted).Do not acceptanything thinking that the ascetic is respected by us (and therefore it is right to accept his word.)

"But when you know for yourselves -- these things are immoral, these things are blameworthy, these things are censured by the wise, these things, when performed and undertaken, conduce to ruin and sorrow -- then indeed do you reject them.

"When you know for yourselves -- these things are moral, these things are blameless, these things are praised by the wise, these things, when performed and undertaken, conduce to well-being and happiness -- then do you live and act accordingly."

These wise sayings of the Buddha, uttered some 2553 years ago, still retain their original force and freshness even in this enlightened twentieth century.

Beware of Propaganda ItemsA lot of Thai, Malaysians and Singaporeans collectors are haunted by amulet propagandists. In some places tricky merchants cut and copy non-standard newspapers, which reported miraculous events of amulets, to blow up and make propaganda text for commercial purposes. It works !! A lot of propaganda items sell like hot cakes.
